Hi Debby, thanks for this will give it a go tomorrow as I forgot to ask
the sighted person who came to see me today. Janet

Hi Janet and anyone interested in my miraculous success!
This morning I finally got the Thermo set up with my iPhone SE. If
anyone else decides to try this without the benefit of eyes that work,
here are my notes:
You can get the Thermo app from the Apple app store however, the app
is not fully accessible for setting up a Withings account on your
phone. The two things I know don’t work is the accepting of the
agreements, and your gender designation. Without these you can’t go
on. So you need to go to http://www.withings.com and set up the
account there. Later, on the iPhone in the Thermo app under settings
you can download the information to the phone.
Once that is done you are ready to tackle the installation of the
Thermo on your phone. One thing for a blind person to know, which I
don’t think is really evident, is that the thermometer’s display is
the area that is on the same side as the button of the unit. To me it
doesn’t feel like a display because it has a rougher texture then most
displays do. Also one of the things that the manual/user guide doesn’t
mention is that before you can install the thermometer on the phone,
you have to turn the thermometer on. To do this just push the button
and hold for 1 to 2 seconds. You can use a color identify to verify
that the unit is on. I used a Colorino, and when the thermometer is
off the color setting says “white.” When the thermometer is on, the
Colorino doesn’t give a color, but you hear a blinking tone pattern. I
think the thermometer only stays on for 30 seconds, so be sure to turn
it on close to the time you are going to try the install on your iPhone.
Now to the iPhone. Go into the Thermo app and if you haven’t already
go ahead and log in. You should see a screen that says “family member”
and under that “me.” If you double tap the “me” button you will see
your stats. To start the installation double tap on settings. Note,
the settings button is at the top of the screen, and it must not be
labeled correctly because in iOS 14.4 Voiceover said “possibly
settings button.” On the settings screen double tap on the
“installation” or “install” button, I can’t remember which it said. Be
sure the thermometer is on. The iPhone screen will give you the
instructions to hold the button on the Thermo for 8 seconds. It seems
that if all is working well, and evidently it was for me, I got a
message asking if Thermo could use Bluetooth. I agreed to that and
then was able to follow the iPhone directions and got the thermometer
set up.
It then provides a tutorial for taking your temperature. I took two
readings, and I am happy to report that even having gotten the second
Pfizer vaccine yesterday, I did not have a fever.
I hope this helps if anyone else wants to set this up on your own.
Take care and Stay safe!

Hi Debby, I like you cannot create an account, I put in email and
password and cannot get past this. I am going to get some sighted
help tomorrow and if I find anything out I will pass it on to
you. Janet

Hi All,
Has anyone set up a Withings Thermo from scratch with no
workable eyes around? From the way everyone talked about it, I
thought it was going to be a cake walk. I think I have
downloaded the correct app, but it has missing labels. I had
to create an account on the Withings website. To get the
installation process started you seem to have to see the
display on the thermometer itself. I thought I could outsmart
the system, but I haven’t been able to see the device on my
phone. I am using an iPhone SE 2020 with iOS 14.4.
I know I can try calling Withings or AIRA, but I thought I
would check to see if anyone has done this independently.
Thanks for any help!
Take care and stay safe!
Debby
